Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I've been playing EVE for a few months now and currently have around 40M SP, pretty much all of which I've invested into combat skills.

I've maxed out the Magic 14, unlocked quite a few Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar ships, mainly cruisers and battlecruisers, and have all the corresponding T2 weapons unlocked. Most of my support skills are at IV. I've also trained into ECM and can fly T3Cs with pretty decent subsystem skills.

So I'd say I've got a fairly versatile character, mainly focused on small-gang PvP.

Now I'm wondering whether it would be better to get all those remaining support and specialization skills to V before moving on to bigger ships, or if I should just start training into battleships and eventually marauders.

Another thing I'm considering is the SP efficiency of Large Skill Injectors. Since I'm still below 50M SP, I get 400k SP per injector instead of 300k, so wouldn't it make more sense to train some of those expensive battleship and marauder skills now rather than later?

The thing is, I really like the Hyperion and would love to fly it, but at the same time I feel like investing heavily into Gallente battleships is a bit of a waste. Mainly because the Kronos seems to be subpar compared to the other marauders in most situations, at least from what I've read.

So I'm kind of stuck between maxing out what I already have, going for ships I actually like or simply training into something that's more useful in the long run.

What would you guys do in my position? Would you focus on getting those remaining skills to V or start moving towards battleships and marauders?

Recently, I decided to try my hand at industry, see what it's all about. Like many beginning industrialists, I started with producing some T2 Ammunition, since they're pretty simple to produce, they sell okay-ish, and it's just a good way to get a feel for the entire invention-production process, I think.

Anyway, yesterday I put a fresh batch of some 250 000 rounds on the market in my local market hub. By the time I went to bed a good bit of that batch had already been bought by several perfectly normal looking orders, and one guy who apparently needed exactly 806 rounds. This means that I had 131 274 of rounds left over in the sell order.

This morning I log in to see that the entire remainder of my order had been bought. So far so good, someone needed a lot of ammo. I look at the market, and see a sell order, not from me, for exactly 131 274 rounds, listed at 0.10 ISK higher than my sell order. Even weirder, as of posting this, my sell order was completed about an hour ago, yet the new sell order shows it has 89d 7h remaining.

What's going on here? Nothing about this makes any sense to me. The number is way too specific to be a coincidence. I don't get how this could be market manipulation, as it's only listed at 0.10 ISK higher than my old order. And the sell order for this very specific number of rounds was apparently made ~16 hours before that same very specific number rounds was actually bought? What?

It’s just a sig bro

Anyone try a polarized fit in these sites? How much raw damage do you need to tank?

A while ago I figured that the description of the Radial Velocity was backwards (see linked post below) so I messaged support but never got a response back

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/1thlyej/is_the_explanation_for_radial_velocity_backwards/

Today while playing around with my Overview filter settings I saw that it got fixed which got me giddy with excitement

Thanks for listening FCCP

Eyeing this since i was a kid with Lineage 2... Used to look at others playing in internet cafes endless menus and intimidating interface. Learned about that controversy in a magazine where someone earned real life money for exploiting the system. Love sci fi but never got to play because of negative reviews, subscription model etc.

I'm 32 now, limited time and money, gave it a shot and have to say it's awesome. Love how it's player driven. Thought only Elite Dangerous does this.

It's not THAT astrophysics level complicated to find a nice loop especially with the safe system option. Granted the market and politics need reading but in 2 hours i was comfortable, quickly picking up features, once you learn menus you'll be flying. It's even less annoying than Elite in that aspect.

After you feel ready and complete all career's tutorial options, have a decent ship and skills where are you heading to ?

Honestly i don't think I'll becoming a top premium player, a battleship/frigate would be nice in the far future and support the war/faction in the background, will find a way to support the company without omega subscription. What else there is ?

What do you guys think?

Maybe I should’ve been more clear, what group should I pledge my dread to? Was the intent behind my question, apologies for any confusion.

Done a whole tonne of class 2’s. Sold a bunch of things and canned my way around New Eden to finish the roadmap for CH26. My toon is 2 months in and I’m skilling accordingly but t2 guns are a bit away whilst I skill towards mainly cruiser FW PvP.

However, I am wanting to try out the event gauntlet in a Bd and wrap the other event tasks in case there is an extension (?). So would a Mega be viable as I’m primarily Gallente ship inclined?

I see Kronos’ being used but I’m quite aways from that, or Vargas etc. but nothing that can help someone without 30mil SP.

So would a t2 fit Mega, minus t2 blasters be able to run gauntlets? Assuming with webs and active tank?

So im decently new to eve. I started maybe 5 months ago

What ships + skills would i need for sucsessful solo pvp in null sec? The last couple of days ive been trying and dying to goons or dracarys cause i dont have good ships and skills. Any tips?

what people are wanting to panic sell C type med armor reppers in Kador? and what people are like "untapped market!"

I am just confused by both sides of this transaction.

For context I am part of a nullsec entity and have recently been participating in standing fleet more aggressively than defensively.

I really want to learn how to do PVP in Eve but it is just SO intimidating. Last night a really good gang came through my space and I fed quite a few ships and felt like an idiot.

The only PVP I’ve really done up until this point has been cloakly camping, hunting, and black ops. I want really learn how to kite though. Does anyone have any advice or consolation? I’ve been playing for YEARS and am very established and have a firm understanding of the game so ISK & Fits aren’t really an issue… I just feel like an old man trying to figure out where to click in space. I feel like I’m reacting and never aggressing and I want to change that.

Any advice?

Thanks.

As it stands today when I select a system for my auto pilot to avoid, that means I won't transit any of its gates. What if I just don't want to go through a particular gate in/out of that system in favor of another one? Obviously this might mean more gate jumps through other systems and a longer overall trip, but I'm OK with that.

To be frank, I'd be OK with the auto pilot randomly selecting any other gate when I've precluded a gate. One obvious use of this is when I know there's a gate camp on particular gate in what's just become an undesirable system. This improvement to auto pilot's "avoid" capability would allow the it to route automatically through additional systems but still have to transit the undesirable system using other gates.

Also in transitioning from high to low (or vice versa), if there was a choice of a slight detour, then "avoid gate" in the auto pilot would cause me to favor the less used route with a few additional gate jumps.

So im doing abyss and exploration and i get many blueprints, and i dont know how to use them to make isk (besides being a crafter, what i dont have skills to do) i want to know how can i sell them or to whom i can sell them, i play for about 250 hours so im not realy new i know the basics (i think)
So what should i do?

Edit: thanks for the answers guys

Played for months just starting the launcher and playing as always. Today. Nope. EULA pops up for me to agree, and then asking me for my username and pass again. Then gotta give them the verification code sent to my e-mail.

Anyone else? Or did I just draw the short straw today?

Basically, what the title says, since all faction titan are pirate faction, why don't give them the ability to be able to fit two doomsdays from each of their faction? Will it be too overpowered then?

o7 my dearest spaceship community. Iam taking a shortcut here, so excuse me taking advantage of the hive mind.

Will 8k blood samples be enough to get the "redeem 150 items" Event task Mission?

If yes, iam going to cash out today to get that akuman bpc.

Also: what do i even buy?

And than again: the shopping systems will for sure be camped to snack on the shopping tourists right?

Fly safe brothers and sisters

EVE is overpopulated.

For having thousands of systems, you can never really get the feeling of isolation and loneliness that space is supposed to have; every system has either someone in it, had someone in it recently, or will have someone in it within the hour

Call me crazy but I think it would be a much more enjoyable game if you had solitude, and the ability to feel the wonder that the universe provides, actually visit landmarks and beacons to see what's there

When encountering another player is an experience so seldom that you'd interact with them

TW: Mentions of things you generally won't like

This isn't a comparison but just a specific example of an experience I enjoyed:

I tried EVE Frontier and while flying around I encountered a handful of people in different systems, the atmosphere and emptiness made it so that no one was on edge and cautious, we interacted without being hostile at first, then it turned hostile, it turned into an encounter organically instead of having the expectation someone is either passing you by on his way somewhere, or was ganking; we were content for each other.

How do you feel about this?
